Title: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: oldskool rich on December 03, 2009, 09:06:09 pm
Hi, i just bort an AUDI A6 2.5 TDI, with engine code AAT
I was told that these can be increased to 300 BHP just by using a bleed valve, is that true?

also does anyone know the difference between this and the AEL (140 BHP) engine?

i want more power and i have alot of goodies at my desposal, including chargecooler and M112 supercharger. just not sure what will work best? will i need nozzles?

i need input, i will update my progress, will try to get some videos on here if i can make sumthin worth showing off

thanx in advance xx

Few threads on tdiclub at the moment, not that specific code though.

Got any 4 cyl mtdi parts knocking about?

Not true.

DSS Ultime2 injectors, FMIC, 3" exhaust, camshaft, HE221W and custom programming: 281hp/594nm. (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f336/valonvieja/Volvo25TDI-dyno.jpg) AEL has bigger injectors and ofcourse programming. Othewise same engine. Bigger injectors is the first thing to do with tdi.

aat has a small k16, .187 injectors and a small intercooler, think of it as an early 1z with an extra cylinder.

better design on all the manifolds though (no D shape on the intake, but its not necessary as it doesn't make a sharp turn)
that exhaust is a piece of art compared with 1z ( and gt2556v bolts on with no mods ;) )

Post by: oldskool rich on December 04, 2009, 10:08:22 pm
what M-TDI parts are you after? i have access to lots of parts, try me

i have no clue about electrics, infact i hate them, so forgive me if this sounds like a mega stupid question but where is the "programming" kept? ;D will that be the ECU? can i just change mine for an AEL one? or should i just get mine re-maped, i dont want to beet around the bush, i want big power, but i dont want to spend £300 on a cam to get an extra 5bhp, i spent £80 on my AAZ which doubled it power, id like to do the same hear if possible

So what is my best course of action to get as much power for little money, using bits off other VAG cars is best for me but i will spend money if it will get me results

what about my supercharger? wud that be better than a turbo?

you sure the gt2556v will go straight on?

5CylAudiTDI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6fYi13CBlU#)

When my friend did a 5 cyl turbo conversion on a eurovan natural, swapping the LDA bits on was a pretty easy job. Its still just a ve pump after all!
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: gigaz2 on December 05, 2009, 11:34:02 am
there are IDI pumps for those engines (2l audi100, 2.4l t4...), you can make a hybrid just like on the 1.9mtdi, rotation isn't something you need to worry about if all the parts come from the suitable engines.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: burn_your_money on December 05, 2009, 11:57:18 am
Actually an AAZ LDA won't work. Like oldskool rich said, everything will be backwards, or rather on the wrong side. I think Giles needed 3 different pumps to make that mTDI.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: gigaz2 on December 05, 2009, 12:32:40 pm
like I said, all coming from VW I5's  ;D

case from a 2.4, head from the eTDI 2.5 (11mm)...  doable, better, already done as proven by the video

Post by: MJF on December 06, 2009, 09:46:17 am
Programming is in ecu. No difference is it AAT or AEL, you´ll need re-map. Even if you go with mech pump, you´ll need bigger injectors to get more power. Maybe 170hp with remap only.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: oldskool rich on December 06, 2009, 10:10:42 pm
wow, thats amazing, never seen an engine tested like that before

where can i get the biggest injectors for the cheapest?
that pump looked like it just had an LDA off an AAZ on it? may it is just a swap?
if not what engine code do i need the pump off? TBH I wont even have to take the pump off, i can just swap heads cant i?

are we saying no to the supercharger then and yes to a gt2556v?

again no idea where to get any of this stuff from :D
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: gigaz2 on December 07, 2009, 05:37:50 am
it was a hybrid pump, put together by Giles, aparently made from three different donor pumps and a lot of custom mods.. not off the shelf stuff

I would try HX30, He221, GT32 or similar wastegate turbo. AAT/AEL/Volvo ECU can not be programmer easily to control VNT.

Thats a good price for those r520, cheapest i've seen is £220 for 4.

What vehicles (machinery?) used Holset?

Rich, i've just removed the engine from my mk3, I have the complete loom and a chipped/de-immo ecu, but fancy going to mtdi in a mk2 - this depends heavily on work situation though

MTDI is easy if sumone has cracked the dico pump problems
heard sumone saying it was a bit flat?


found a 5pot TD pump but i will surely need to change to the TDI cam plate? and what about the advance? what do i need to do? is it gona be a mission of trial and error like changing the AAZ pump into an MTDI?

anyone know of a cheap turbo nocking about? is my supercharger out of the question?

realy want giles to do all the headache work, but i haventy got that much money, id have to sell my kidneys unless i can pay him in parts

anyone know how i can contact him?

ive decided today that theres no point in doing this A6 up, im gona buy a A6 quattro so i can do it properly
ive found some cheap leather interior and good set of coilovers, i think im gona go all out

Post by: oldskool rich on December 08, 2009, 08:57:10 pm
the turbo isnt even off my car but its defo 5 pot aplication just had it lying around
 :D i dont even want a turbo i just want sumthin to bargain with giles to get a free/cheap pump

you realy that despirate for a bracket? dont you live in portugal? do they not have machinists down ur way? a mate of mine just got his machined, only cost him a tenner

if your realy stuck i could sort you out with one, but prepare to get bummed on the postage


i need to speek to this giles fella before i start swapsies, i must have sumthin he needs

what MTDI stuff are people after?
ive got a 1Z thats finished with ARPs, 6 point injectors and disco pump, mint ring gaps and bearings
adjustable pully all custom made to fit, also 11mm PP and better cam plate. ive not had the chance to put it in a car yet but just needs a turbo and it should fly

i cant see me using it now so if anyone wants it, offers around 650

if you want bits ive got loads of stuff
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: gigaz2 on December 09, 2009, 05:20:56 am
damn, I forgot about postage, yap it would probably cost more shipping than the parts value due to weight.
I have a good machinist, he even throws a few freebies now and then, but takes ages to get things done, must get a mini lathe for myself  ;D

Not to get off-topic, but do the inline 5-cyl Audi and the V6 Audi engines bolt up to the same transaxles, ie. same bellhousing patterns? TIA

Post by: gigaz2 on December 10, 2009, 05:26:57 pm
yap, there are three main bolt patterns in DUBs, the 827 4 cyl , the vr6 and the 5 and 6 cylinder engines, audi often uses a bellhousing that accepts both 4cyl and 5/6cyl

anyway, this is what I remember from searching a while ago
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: oldskool rich on December 10, 2009, 09:23:07 pm
thats right.
most audi boxes are both, but not all

you can fit an A6 TDI quattro box to any TDI/IDI i checked this therory at work the other wk
im using sutch an application in my caddy, you can pare this up with the old locking diffs and hav sum fun

Post by: VWSmokr on December 11, 2009, 04:29:10 pm
Cool. When the time/money mix is right, I'd like to get an Audi V6 TDI for one of my VW campers, for more grunt & less fuel consumption. KEP has the adapters for VW or Porsche trannies. Gotta finish the German V6 gasser conversion on the other camper first. ::)

Thanks for the info.

Smokr:

You might want to re-consider that.  The 2.5 V6 is VERY heavy, whereas the 5 banger is reasonably light.  The 2.5 can use all of the hardware from RSA that bolts in the 2.6 gasser, includng hyrdaulically dampened mounts.  We had the same thought as you, but after a lot of consideration, went with the 5 cyl instead (and had Giles build a nice MTDI pump for it to keep the installation all mechanical).
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: blackdogvan on December 12, 2009, 06:29:51 am
I've always wanted to see a 2.5 v6 mtdi using a cummins 12mm pump. From what i can see it would bolt in no problem! Those pumps are dime a dozen around here.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: CdnVWJunkie on December 12, 2009, 10:14:52 am
Black dog, I presume you mean the VE 6BT CTD pump?  That certainly would make for an interesting conversion.  Lots of info out there on the 6BT pumps some making huge power.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: oldskool rich on December 12, 2009, 08:59:48 pm
the V6 is a crap engine, the heads always go wrong and there a bastard to work on, also weight is a massive issue too, they do bout 30 MPG pretty *** for a diesel , ive been getting 50 out my 5 pot you may as well stick with petrol

how much does giles charge for a 5pot injection pump?
please can sumone tell me how to contact him?

you could also look at the merc sprinter 2.9 tdi the early ones are mechanical ve pumps and 5cylinder but are chain driven so it would depend on whether you could swap shafts or fit your pulley some how

is this a straight swap, besides the pulleys? I have audi 100 C3 2.0td 5cyl, the engine is broken , so id like to replace it with  2.5 tdi 5 cyl but without ecu. I have read the faq about m-tdi pumps , but most of the information is about 1.9 tdi. Is it possible to build a franken pump using my  2.0 td pump and 2.5 tdi pump or are there some factory meh tdi pump which could be used. 
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: 55eta on December 14, 2009, 08:31:44 pm
forget about the merc pumps as they are e tdi on the sprinters i  got them mixed up with the 2.9 idi,s ??? as used on the merc 600 series vans but by the sound of it the audi 100 2.0-2.5 tds sound a good bet but probably like rocking horse sh#t over here also vw lt2.5 N/a engine is 5cyl but i am not shore if it is electronically controlled like the sdi,s

Post by: oldskool rich on December 22, 2009, 07:46:59 pm
ok bit scared that the injection pump will cost me the same as the whole car  :o

apparently will need to run 60psi to get anywhere near 300bhp

according to my mate that tunes MR2s PSI meens nothing and its all about air flow, which i strugle to get my head around but its been tried and tested according to him, so im looking at the holset HX40 because its massive. anyone got any thorts on the matter? will that be too laggy? so many people telling me different things its hurting my head

fitted my S line interior, its starting to look like a half desent car, getting big brake conversion after xmas  ;D


any more info on pumps and how to covert them to MTDI will be grately appreciated
no disrespect to giles and im sure hes worth it but i just dont think i can afford it  :'(

according to my mate that tunes MR2s PSI meens nothing and its all about air flow, which i strugle to get my head around but its been tried and tested

He is correct. Pressure is restriction to flow.

If you are running 15 psi on a stock head it will flow say 150 CFM
If you port that same head and run the same 15 PSI you will now be flowing 200 CFM because there is less restriction.

Make sense? I just made those numbers up by the way.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: MJF on December 23, 2009, 03:33:10 am
Where did you get that 60psi? Boost doesnt make power, it´s the flow like your mate said. HX40 is "a bit" overkill for these engines, fine up to 500+hp in di engine. HE221W @27psi made 280hp and thats pretty much what you can get with 11mm pump and stock head.

will i be ok to use red clutches for daily use or will they run out quickly?

i was gona use a x2 preasure plate and 6 Button Quick Lock (solid hub) clutch

will that be ok, im guessing will be quite jerky to drive, clutch will be either on or off, but 5 pot has so much torque at idle that you cant stall it so i cant see this being a problem, just wana know if it will last, dont wana be changing it every 6 months, or should i go with a yellow clutch but keep with the red x2 preasure plate?  ???

Post by: theman53 on December 24, 2009, 10:41:14 pm
George told me they don't mix the colors of the parts. I am sure they do. I went with the 6 puck sprung hub in RED with the RED pressure plate... I don't have it on the car yet. 53 Willys and zukgod both have clutchnet RED sprung setups and said they worked fine for them.

Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: svenakela on December 25, 2009, 09:00:33 am
I have a solid, the reseller here said I'll be ok with a solid and I think that too. They have both standard clutches without the dampeners and racing discs with them, and vice verse. But if you're going high performance it might be too aggressive (specially with the spring plate) without the low bottom torque.
Give them a call and ask. I think they will guide you.

Dunno exact specs, ~260 degrees. Custom grinded at R-Koneistus. GT32 would be other nice turbo. Spools pretty nice even with 1,9.
Title: Re: 5 pot TDI?
Post by: theman53 on December 25, 2009, 02:01:10 pm
Basically George said that the sprung hub would absorb a little more drivetrain shock for daily driving and make it all last longer. The solid hub he said was more for racing and is a complete on off switch, which he said was best for drag racing lauches. I plan on using mine daily so I went with the sprung hub.

Interesting. On their web site they actually have discs without springs rated as green ("street upgrade") which is supposed to be for cars with 10-15 % increase. It's a clutch like that I have.
Anyway, the dampened clutch will for sure be smoother. Wise to choose it.

now just need clutch, injection pump and was looking at getting a 5 to 1 aftermarket manifold off a 20v AAN and bodging it to fit. i think the inlet is ok, will do a bit of porting too, also need a cam, anyone know of a cheap place?
